Zuhair Murad brings couture glamour to Aldo with new capsule collection

Zuhair Murad, the Lebanese couturier, has teamed up with Canadian footwear and accessories brand Aldo for a new capsule collection. The collaboration aims to bring the designer's signature red-carpet glamour to a wider audience, making it more accessible and versatile. The collection features statement footwear styles, such as an open-toe platform sandal and a pointed-toe slingback, both adorned with glittering finishes and metallic gold or snakeskin-inspired textures.

Evening bags and jewellery, including pearl-embellished pieces and star motifs, carry the collection's decorative language. Pricing ranges from Dh499 for chandelier gold earrings to Dh1,199 for the platform sandals in snakeskin. Aldo's vice-president of brand strategy, PR, and social media, Amanda Amar, notes that Murad's impact in couture and luxury fashion allowed them to create a collection that honors his signature visual expressions while remaining true to Aldo's essence.

The high-low partnership is not new, with luxury brands like H&M, Zara, and Elie Saab also partnering to reach new audiences. The limited-edition collection is expected to sell out quickly, so eager customers are advised to act fast.
